What I liked

Never having experienced a clown show since I was a wee child, I had absolutely no idea what to expect from an “adult” clown show. To say that I was blown away is an understatement in the extreme. From the moment Joaquin walks on stage he captivates everyone, and in minutes you can feel the whole audience falling in love with him and willing to go on his kooky journey wherever it leads. I watched with amazement as he seamlessly went from prepared material to improv, never missing a beat. I felt as if I were at the Taper or any Broadway house watching a world-renown master performing his unique art, much as I felt when I watched Marcel Marceau perform many years ago.

What I didn't like

For a show of this incredible caliber the price of the tickets should have been triple, if not more.

My overall impression

A show so overwhelmingly genuine and touching it literally turned my laughter to tears as Joaquin lured me into a land of wonder and delight. Laughter at the utter joy the show provided and tears when Joaquin sails away at the end. Tears that appeared to be shared by everyone, as no one wanted the show to end.
